Osage Orange (Maclura pomifera) is a spiny deciduous tree native to river valleys of the south central United States. Male and female trees are separate, and female trees produce large wrinkled hedge apples that are not edible.
Indigenous peoples valued its heavy, strong, flexible yellow wood for making bows, giving the tree the name Bow Wood. The species tolerates poor soil, drought, heat, cold, and wind and has long been grown as a hedge or shade tree.

How to stratify seed
In the fridge. Put the seed in a bag with a damp medium such as peat moss, vermiculite, sand or coco coir. The medium is only there to hold moisture. Keep the bag in the fridge, above freezing, for the cold period shown, then sow.
Or outside. Sow the seed outdoors in the fall and let winter do the cold period.
